Liability OF Railroads.

A new ground for suit against rail-
way company has just been established
in F.a1ce. A painter named Board,
while travelling on the Paris-Lyons
road, was attacked by a robber and
seriously wounded. He sued and got
damages, the company being held re-
sponsibie because the construction of
the cars did not afford sufficient pro-
lection. The judges decided that
there was a genuine contract between
the passenger and the company, the
ticket constituting the written instru-
ment, and that the railroad people
were bound by it, not only to bring
the man to his destination. but also to
afford HIM protection during his Jour-
ney; and they refused TO entertain the
question chat the company were as
obliged to conform TO the rules of the
administration in regard to the model
of the cars. N y San.

A Recruiting Officers Chat About Appli-

cants for Enlistment.
The number of recruits that offer
themselves is an excellent barometer o.
the condition of trade throughout the
country. When trade is slack crowds
present themselves, while, when work
is plenty, it is hard to get as many good
men as we need. Not one applicant in
ten is accepted, as, if a man has the
slightest physical inlirmity, such as i'm
perfect sight, or deafness of one ear,
he is rejected. The weight of the re-
cruits is carefully regulated, none be-
ing allowed to enter the cavalry who
are over 155 pounds, and very light
or very heavy man is rejected for all
branches of the service. We have a
great deal of trouble with young fel-
lows of nineteen or twenty who wish to
enlist without the consent of their
parents. They all swear that they
are over twenty-one, and it is next to
impossible to convince them that we
will not muster them in. The officer
in charge is obliged to be very strict,
as If for any reason recruit mu tered
by him is rejected, he is obliged to pay
all expenses incurred by the Govern
ment. A great proportion of the ac-
cepted recruits are old soldiers, who
have been discharged and have made
up their minds to leave the army They

cOSTON'S LATEST FAD.
Browning and Brahminlsm Discarded for
New Mental Disease.

Browning and Brahminlsm Discarded for
New Mental Disease.
Some friendly reader of this column
has sent me word that a new mania
has attacked Boston society. 1t is
more recent and almost more alarming
than the rage for Browning and Brah.
minism, and while it lasts is a source
of much anxiety. The technical name
OF this new disease is Russophobia. 1t
manifests itself, the writer says, in a
wild enthusiasm for the study of Rus
sian politics, religion and, indeed,
every thing pertaining to Russia. The
first symptom is fever for reading the
novels of Gogol and Tolstoi; the next
stage is one delirious delight in the
mysteries of Underground Russia"
and Isis Unveiled" When the dis
ease is at its height the patient hunts
up transplanted Nihilists with whom
he discusses the state of Russia. OF
course, the victims of the mania have
formed themselves into a club, and now
indeed the Gar may tremble for his
life! He has managed to elude Mill
lists up to date at home, bat now that
determined club composed of young
women has decided that the selfs have
never been really freed and that Rus
sian peasants are the most abused peo-
pie in the world, Alexander might as
well shoot himself at once. Another
phase of this Russophobia which the
writer neglects to mention, however is
the eagerness on the part of linguists
to learn one of the most difficult lam
guages in the world and so be able to
read Gogol and Tolstoi in the vernac-
ular French and German and Italian
are mere child's play to the broken
backed. double jointed polysyllables of
the Slav. Yet Boston young people,
daunted, have tackled this
bear. and actually say they
enjoy the wrestle. If there is another
language more difficult to learn, they
